The trial of the man accused of burning down Ainsworth’s Silver Ledge Hotel will resume on December 8.

Randy Hanoski is charged with one count of arson.

The Crown says it may call one more witness, and possibly recall a police officer who has already testified.

The defence is not expected to call any evidence.

The two sides agree about another three hours of court time will be required to complete their submissions, including closing arguments.

Last month, Judge Ron Fabbro agreed to admit certain incriminating statements Hanoski allegedly made in the back seat of a police car, but threw out a letter he’s believed to have written the night before the fire.
